Attack of the Corporate Weasel Words

theodp writes "Does it bother you that churches have a Mission Statement touting their Core Values? That even the CIA has a Vision? In his book Death Sentences: How Clichés, Weasel Words and Management-Speak are Strangling Public Language and in this Newsweek interview, Australian author Don Watson argues it's time to protest the mind-numbing business jargon that infests our schools, churches and political speech. Examples that people have sent to him can be found on Watson's website."

Re:Dilbert

[Dun Malg]

My sunday newspaper has Dilbert in the frontpage. I remember the days when a kid could wake up sunday morning and have only Garfield and other innocent comics.

Nah, we also used to have that godawfulpiece of tripe "Doonesbury", though. At least Dilbert is funny. Trudeau descended into inanity after he used up his couple years worth of originality, then we had to put up with 25 years of trite, sumg liberalism. When I was a child I thought I just didn't get the jokes. Later I found out that it just wasn't funny. HAHAHA! THE PRESIDENT IS A FEATHER! LOL! Gimme a break....
